Garlic-Ginger Chicken Dumpling Recipe (Momo)
These steamy dumplings are filled with succulent chicken and flavored with garlic and ginger, making them irresistible. They can be steamed or fried, depending on your preference. Serve them with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra kick!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package of dumpling wrappers
- Water for sealing the dumplings
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
- Take a dumpling wrapper and place a small spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center. Be careful not to overfill it.
- Wet the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water using your finger. Fold the wrapper over to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal. You can pleat the edges for a decorative touch if you like!
- Repeat this process until all the filling is used up.
- To cook, you can steam the dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper for about 15 minutes. Alternatively, for a crispy texture, pan-fry them in a skillet with a bit of oil, then add a few tablespoons of water and cover to steam for about 8 minutes.
- Serve the dumplings hot with soy sauce or your preferred dipping sauce. Enjoy your homemade Garlic-Ginger Chicken Dumplings!
